Exam-day tips

  • You must pass each part separately; a strong Part 2 cannot rescue a weak Part 1.
  • Part 1 is closed book, so do not rely on the Standard being available until Part 2.
  • Bank time in Part 1 (60 minutes allotted); Part 2 scenarios need the full 90.
  • Part 2 uses gradient scoring, so second-best answers still score points.
  • Fatigue is real in a 2.5-hour exam; practise a full-length mock beforehand.
